Circle C Metropolitan Park

This is a really nice family park, especially if the parents have taught the kids how to behave in public and how things can be preserved if kept nice. I come here often to chill and it has very good cell reception just in case you are needed. One thing I have noticed here, which can be very busy on weekends, are parents who are actually teaching their children and pets about socialization. The squirrels and grackles will go after anything not nailed down in the spring so it is a really good time to make sure you pick up your trash. Peanuts… only boiled ones if you are going to give handouts. That way they don’t grow from any animal or people leftovers and there is no salt to damage the grass. Lots of trails, a soccer field, toilets. It is a bit old school, but that is what I like about a few of the parks in the area.

This disc golf course is really long. Lots of par 4’s and a few par 5’s. Definitely recommend warming up on the soccer fields because your gonna need your long arm. Lots of elevation changes make this course special. The only real complaint is hole 18. It’s ludicrously long and really is not a pleasurable hole.

We were looking for a place to walk around after we ate so we came across this park. It has a frisbee course on it and some jogging trails. They have soccer fields also. A nice place to walk around with your family.

This is a nice park with some trails and a nice disc golf course. There are soccer fields further into the park which are really busy on weekends. There are Porta potties around the park, but there are also flush toilets near the rear soccer field, which are much appreciated. A nice little park for the area.

The hiking was great and our dog enjoyed the walk. We walked half the trail because it was 100 degrees out. The rains washed away some of the trail but my daughter, hubby and dogs enjoyed it. Just wish they had water stations for the dogs.
Great place!

This is my default «go-​to» park because its relatively close and has a great playscape that my kids love to play on and around. They have great natural cover in the form of mature live oaks. The park also typically has a good number of other parents and kids which is key for my kids because playing with Dad is only fun for so long… The park also has a disc golf course sprinkled through the woods, Tons of open soccer fields, a volleyball court, a basketball court, and a few mountain bike trails. Two things that are drawbacks are that they only have a sub-​standard bathroom option (porta-​potty) and either there is no water fountain or I just couldn’t find it.

This review is focusing on the disc golf section of this park.
So far it’s been one of my favorite places to go to play disc golf. There are giant soccer fields next to hole 1 for you to warm up your throws before you play, as well as a convenient parking lot and restroom/​water fountains. There are also a few practice baskets right before you start!
It’s overall a very challenging course. Requires very accurate distance throws on a lot of the holes, and very unforgiving if you throw into the «rough». You don’t really have those open field holes where you can throw with all your might and not have to worry about losing your disc or getting it stuck in trees. The scenery is great and there is a lot of shade from trees to provide cover from those hot sunny summer days. I like how the last hole is arranged where you throw across a creek to park it next to the basket. Be warned, on those hot summer days DO BRING A LOT of water, as you will get dehydrated very fast from walking the course… it is one of the longest courses I’ve played.
If I lived closer to this park I’d be playing here every week, but unfortunately I live in Leander so getting here is quite a drive…

This park makes my heart happy! Great for walks, dogs, picnics and fun, I frequent here with my son at least 2 times a week! If you need a place to relax, exercise or just play its got it all. My son and I enjoy the walking loop and then it’s off to the covered playground for some baby fun.

This is a big park with lots of room to run! I love the variety of trees, the wild flowers and the song birds.
People come here to play soccer and frisbee golf.

Circle C metro park caters to specific groups, and for them, I can see why it would be a 5 star rating. However, as a mother to an 8, almost 9 year old who just came here to utilize the tables for a picnic and the playground it’s 3.5 to 4 stars. The park itself is really well maintained, with ample parking. The grass looks soft, and level on the soccer fields and there are a couple of sand volleyball pits nearby.
The tables are a plastic resin, which is nice cause most use wood. The plastic is warm, but not too hot to sit on in shorts. Also, they aren’t caked with food particles like one would expect. All good things!
Why does this place get a less than stellar rating from me? Cause the playground to me is lacking. They have rock gravel on the bottom, which means they get thrown, or stuck in shoes. The shade is very nice, but the equipment is geared towards 6 and younger. To me, it’s outdated compared to others I’ve seen in the area, and since this is what we came for. Less than 5 stars. It needs something more. A small rock climb area, or monkey bars. It’s really just slides and swings. So if you have a younger kid. This is amazing. But for those of us who have older, they could easily get bored within 30 mins.

What is not to like about this expansive local park?
*It is maintained much better than Mary Moore Searight Park just a few miles to the East
*Has a challenging and well maintained 18 hole disc golf course (my favorite part)
*A ton of soccer fields filled with hopes and dreams on the weekends
*A large play structure area for «playdates» blerg I loathe that word, but it must be used for this because thats all you hear while there.
*A well maintained trail to bike, jog, dog walk etc
*A decent amount of parking
*Restrooms
*Basketball court
*A baseball practice field
TL;DR Spend time here, it is nice.

Great little park!!! Playscape for kids that’s actually shaded, frolf, walking trails, soccer fields, little baseball fields and volleyball. Love this place!

I’ve been to this park many times to play disc golf. One of the best and most challenging courses in Austin. Look out for heavier weekend traffic, but worth the stop!

I went to check out this park last weekend to play some disc golf. I have to say its a huge workout. The course is very challenging and I really like the scenery. The course is well kept and easy to navigate. I would definitely recommend this park for anyone that likes disc golf.

This place is a 5-​star disc golf course. There were no muddy tee boxes. All of the tee boxes were concrete. Stones are laid on the trails between holes. There was plenty of space to park. I found the course quite challenging. This was rated the best course in Austin and proved to be true. Watch out for rocks and critters on this course. I would definitely play here again.

Awesome shade. Huge trees for climbing. Lots of soccer fields to run around in.

Great park for older children. Like 8 to 12 year olds. My 3 and 5 year old were disappointed with the lack of slide and swings.

Great place to take the dog for a quick trip into the «wilderness» — my bird dog is drooling before we get a quarter-​mile down the path. Along those lines I wish they had some water along the way for the pups.
There’s also plenty of open space to take kids (took the great-​nephews there to fly some kites).

That Troy H guy writes incredibly in depth reviews. But i love this golf course, and the empty soccer fields make a great driving range. All if you can throw the kiddie field goal to goal you’re throwing about 300 feet. There’s even a practice basket to putt to, or if you want to warm up there’s a dirt tee pad between pad #1 and the soccer fields. Great field of play. Varying elevations, long walks better holes, and trees that have been there forever but just seem to jump in front of your disc. Lack of water does pose a problem but they can’t make it rain.

This, if you were not aware, has one of the feature Disc Golf Courses in the area.
The park has numerous amenities, and they can be written on by many others… I would like to allow you a moment to get the information on one of the best challenging Disc Golf Courses in the area.
If you were not aware of the Disc Golf Course in the park, please take some time and share in the beauty and fun difficulty by playing a round here. I will admit that I am an avid Disc Golfer that has played in Statewide/​National competitions and local events alike. Additionally, as a disclaimer, I am a member of the Waterloo Disc Golf Club that helped orchestrate, coordinate, and procure all the needed support and monetary funds to get the course redesign and improvement off the ground.
Most recently last year the course was closed down for about 6 months so renovations, clearings, erosion control, improvements and access features could be performed for disc golfers playing in the Austin area. Many World Class Disc Golfers have played here and they ALL recommend playing the course, even more so, after the improvements.
The improvements were a combination of hundreds of volunteer hours, large amounts of donations and the commitment the City of Austin made years ago for the improvement to the park. The budgets approved were met: ON TIME, UNDER BUDGET, and EXCEEDED expectations since they left much of the work and coordination up to the Disc Golf Club.
The course is an 18 hole course with 2 sets of Tees (6821 ft. — 7987 ft) and a Par of 64. (The improvements reduced it from a 21 hole course that keeps a challenge and good flow to the round of play)
Many of the flight lines have been cleared within reason to help keep the beauty of the course, maintain the challenge, and also keep the course healthy (you just don’t cut trees down without a good reason).
Along the course: erosion control barriers, walking paths, garbage cans, lime stone benches, and natural features have been built in using rocks/​dead wood/​etc. keep the natural elements and accentuate challenges.
This is a top tier, profession Class A course that is Internationally recognized by the Professional Disc Golf Association (
